Same complaints as the rest of the series: issues are too superficially addressed and there's just no nuance at all in the writing. I guess I'm too used to more recent middle grade books that give the reader more credit. ( )

Wow. Defiant Qui-Gon is one thing, but a Qui-Gon hell-bent on revenge?! For all of his rebellions we've always known that Qui-Gon has faith in, and believes in everything the Jedi Order is meant to stand for. To see him move so close to the path of the dark side was shocking.

And poor Obi-Wan, he was equally eas lost because his mentor--his Master--had shut him out. And his best friend blamed him for something he could not have prevented. I was a little surprised by Bant's treatment toward Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. Her grief over her master didn't give her the okay to treat her friends so coldly. As if they didn't already feel bad enough. They should have been consoling one another, not berating. But she was young and the loss of her Master was probably like a hole being ripped through her. Sadly an agony Obi-Wan will know in the future.

This was good. I knew that twin Etheri wasn't all she claimed to be! I can't wait to see how far Qui-Gon's grief carrries him away from the Jedi and what it takes to being him back where he belongs. ( )
